how can i improve my ball control skills?

During a match, my team seem to stand back and let the other team take control. Is there anyway I can get them to be first to the ball and compete to win?

Does anyone have any tips / advice or good drills that can help improve first touch for under 12's age group? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

i coach 35 u7s and trying to keep them all entertained is a challenge! We train in a sports hall and divide this into 4 quarters and try to have 4 different drills going but anyone got 4 good games to keep them interested. Its tough having lots of kids of all abilities but its a good challenge!

Are there any drills I could use to help my U8 team learn to use the right weight of pass in the right situation. They have the ability to see the pass but often either under hit or over hit the ball. Thanks Lee

Hi, can anyone suggest an effective warm up routine / drill for an under 12's side before a match?

Hi, when I take my under 12's for training, they do a warm up couple of laps of the pitch. Out of a squad of 13, I only get 7/8 doing the warm up properly, while the same 5/6 always ruin it by half running half walking. Any tips?

I have u13 players that play slightly slower and less aggressive than expected. They can control the ball fine but they lack speed and normal soccer aggression during games. How can I help improve speed and aggression? Are there drills that are geared towards these two areas that need improvement? Thanks,

Just wondering what other coaches do with the kids whilst I set up the cones for the drills? Normally I ask them to have a drink but whilst I am setting up the cones I find balls flying everywhere because they are messing around with them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi I have quite a large squad (11) for my U9s team. Sometimes not all of them turn up but when they do managing the substitutions can be a nightmare. Have tried planning it out and making 3 subs on a rotation every 6 or 7 minutes. This works OK, just wondered how others do it? Thanks! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
